I'm old too. Grew up in the segregated South and remember those times well. Back then the negroes had many legitimate complaints about the way they were treated. But, the young ones today who want to loot, burn and steal don't have a clue what real racism looks like. They support communism and think the world owes them a free ride.

Many of the monuments you refer to were paid for with both public and private funds. But, it doesn't matter because the public, the taxpayers of that time wanted them.

To desecrate or destroy the monuments of one group of people in an effort to appease another is reprehensible. First they demanded the removal of the Ten Commandments because they were "offensive". Now they want to eradicate our history and culture. They are no better than ISIS or the very NAZI's they claim to hate.
